🔥 Ready for the next level of imaging? The radio-labelled tracer binding to integrin αvβ3 99mTc-maraciclatide is able to detect hypervascularization in RA joints and correlates w/ PDUS findings

3/4 axSpA EMAS pts had/perceived to have employment challenge. Poor physical/mental health, lower education, hx job change due to axSpA associated w/difficulties/perceived difficulties. Earlier dx/rx AND advocacy needed. Abs 0366 #ACR21 #RheumNow @RheumNow https://t.co/dlGhOymxVQ https://t.co/CWD6U1vRE0

Gender differences in AS pts?
IL-23R, IL-12R, IL-6R, JAK, STAT and TYK2 ⬇️regulated in men
Small study of 20 pts, but could it guide targeted therapy based on gender?🤔

Dr Adachi presents ⬆️BMD gain with denosumab than risedronate in RA. Non-significant reduction in fractures (very small numbers) Interesting, but need to see fracture benefit in larger study to justify dmab as first line Abstr#0445 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/GgaS9JZGzb

"I don't want rheumatologist only use BLMB and nephrologist using only VCS."
- Dr. M Petri on how we should work together with nephrologists on managing lupus nephritis.
(She did give a final dig & added "BLMB can be used with any GFR")

Don't forget to discuss Influenza vaccination w/ your RA patients! Higher concerns about RA medications and low necessity of vaccination beliefs associated with a ⬇️ likelihood of vaccination and suboptimal vaccine coverage.

#GreatDebate: add on BLMB vs. VCS to MMF for LN
Dr. Petri argues for BLMB b/c:
👉cost is less
👉better adherance
👉not good for class V
👉voclosporin had greater nephrotoxicity
👉insuff data in pregnancy, but not contraindicated like VSC #ACR21 @rheumnow https://t.co/mk2eXwkxcG

Voclosporin: Combo with MMF is effective pts of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
⭐️Big plus for a disease with large healthcare disparity issues
